The troff man pages will still be checked into the tree but the
source is DocBook XML format living in the docs/ directory now.
Start with the easy ones, the main udev page is still left to
rewrite.

A second "add" event created a new enumeration with %e. Check the
udevdb first and if a matching name is already used.

Moving events directly to the exec queue instead of the reordering
incoming queue, leaves holes in the sequence, that lead to timeouts for
all other events. Remove that part of the special handling.
(With netlink, events can't get out-of-order and the maximum timeout is 5
seconds and should not cause any trouble with the 10 sec timout for the
firmware class anyway. Events with timeouts are still prioritized for
execution, but don't bypass the incoming queue anymore.)
Many thanks to:

for his endless debugging and sending all the traces, that showed this
failure with his DVB device:

My test program that simulates a similar sequence, runs without any delay
now. (With one of the next versions we will make netlink mandatory, then
we can remove the whole input queue crap with the reordering anyway.)

No device node or symlink can have other characters as plain
readable ascii or valid utf8. The /dev/disk/by-label/* symlinks
can no longer contain weird stuff read from untrusted sources.

We will not support any other character encoding than plain ascii
or utf8 for volume labels. All invalid utf8 and non-ascii characters
are substituted for security reasons. No options, no fancy heuristics.

HAL soon wants to read the whole content of the udevdatabase while
starting up. This makes the whole udev structure available to the
udevinfo "dump".

Just like the IMPORT values are stored in the udev database the
exported keys are stored in the udev database. The database is also
imported on a remove event before the rules are matched. So it
is possible to do:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sda", ENV{MY_DEVICE}="1234", RUN+="/bin/logger add $devpath"
ACTION=="remove", ENV{MY_DEVICE}=="1234", RUN+="/bin/logger remove $devpath"

We want to write the output buffer before

does not work correctly.

If the kernel forks us as an usermodhelper, we don't have any of
the standard fd's and the first open() will start with fd=0.
This is inherited to all forked childs and confuses later forked
helpers where we want to read from a pipe connected to the helpers
stdout/stderr.
# ls -l /proc/$(pidof udevd)/fd
total 6

Ouch! This will obviously not redirect sterr, it will kill the pipe
we established between the parent and the child:
devnull = open("/dev/null", O_RDWR);
dup2(devnull, STDERR_FILENO);

This can be uses to export stuff to the event environment or
to carry a state from one rule to another, like enabling/disabling
later rules conditionally.
